Oregon and Washington BS thread

Reach out to New Creations USA for the upholstery. He may have a guy in Seatown. He is based in Vancouver WA, and BC, but does work in Seattle. If you reach out to WA, Dave Stone is the MAN. In BC, it is Rob Shimmin. Dave reconditioned seats in a vette my pops owned, and they looked like they just came out of the show room.

 

Right on. Thnx. Definitely willing to travel for good work. Plus it doubles as a bit of vacation and chance to explore somewhere new.

 

Witches castle to Pittock Mansion is 1 hour by foot. Google map it to get an idea. Note that it's a pretty steady descent from Pittock, so either
1. go back up the hill
2. park another car at the Macleay Park entrance. Pittock -> Witches -> Macleay is 2hrs by foot.
If you don't have the opportunity for two cars or wish to cut out the uphill hike, explore Pittock by car and then drive around to the Macleay Park entrance and get to the Witches Castle that way.

Mt. Hood is like a couple hours east, and if you are doing some sort of hiking, it's for serious folk with ice axes and all that. If you want to head that way but do a normal person hike, try Ramona Falls.
Some other notables that may or may not make the list:
Devil's Punchbowl
Ashland Shakespeare festival (if you do the culture thing)
Rogue Brewery
Jake the Alligator Man (tourist trap, but sort of a fun one)
Tillamook Cheese Factory
Florence Sand Dunes
If you like film locations, try Brownsville (Stand By Me), Cottage Grove (Animal House), Astoria (this might as well be a second Hollywood). Not much to do in the first two, but gives you some old timey small towns that not all states really enjoy.
Bridgeport Brew Pub
Tugboat Annie's in Olympia (rent a kayak, have some food overlooking the bay)

 

The wife grew up in Oly, so Annie's was a staple. Great place.

 

so, orders finally came in, still waiting to find out what city i'll be recruiting out of but I'll be moving up in the area mid august

 

You'll like the scenery a lot better than Oklahoma

 

I know I will. But, we get some pretty awesome sunrises/sunsets out here, especially during tornado season lol

 

Not edited at all. Can't remember if @AWilson013 or I took this

That radiator looks beefcake and I've been having chronic issues with my pickup running warm...

 

Anyone know a place that will charge shocks with nitrogen? Just rebuilt my Bilstiens and can't find anywhere that will do it.

 

My garage. Also most motorcycle/atv shops have Nitrogen setups.

 

Dude thanks for the heads up! I definitely have some planning ahead of me! I wanted to have a shell to camp in by the time I do this trip so maybe I'll wait till winter or next summer so I'm prepared better. Looking at a Rtt in the group buy for now tho!

 

And this is why I uber on the weekends

 

Too bad you have a aclb @Usethe2nd you could totally uber it up. I'll lease you my dcsb.

 

@Usethe2nd
We have a few food delivery services that are app based, oh and Amazon now (if you have a Amazon prime account then you get 2 hour deliveries) those are all app based quick jobs you could do with the truck!

 

Ideally I'd like to do part time work in a fab shop and pick up some tricks, either that or another job where I turn wrenches. Only problem is transporting my box daily isn't exactly possible

 

I want a rack like this for the same reason. A CVT. But I have a trifold cover on my bed. Anyone have any ideas of how to make this happen while still keeping my cover?

 

Custom bed rack that hangs over the truck to give you too to fold it.

 

Have you seen one like this?
